5. Reality is always cruel (minor repair)
The Cui girl's face changed, and the basket of vegetables in her hand fell to the ground with a snap. Chunying had a problem in her heart, so she hurriedly picked up the basket and deliberately pretended to be puzzled: "What's wrong with Sister Cui?" The dishes are all dirty. ”
The girl of the Cui family smiled unnaturally, took the basket and put it on the stove, her face was a little pale, and her eyes gradually flushed. Seeing this, Chunying became even more suspicious: "Sister Cui, are you okay?" My question...... Is it inconvenient for you to answer? ”
"How so?" The girl of the Cui family smiled reluctantly, "To put it bluntly, how can I have any way?" It's all Steward Liu's help. The housekeeper's mother, Fang, is a relative of Steward Liu, because you are from our hospital, and suddenly fell ill, she was worried for a while, so she asked Steward Liu to discuss. Steward Liu probably thought that distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors, so he recommended me to go. In fact, the people who can do this errand are all over the courtyard, except for you, that is, me. ”
"Isn't that right?" Chunying tilted her head, "Aren't there still Liu Xi'er and Sister Feng Lian?" She remembered that these two were only one or two years older than herself, only a little younger than the Cui family girl, and Liu Xi'er was also the daughter of Steward Liu.
"You girl can't remember anything. What will Sister Lian do? I don't know anything except playing with her, as for Xi'er, she has been pampered since she was a child, and I heard that her father and mother plan to go out to kiss her in two years, how can we compare with her? The Cui family girl unconsciously fiddled with the vegetable leaves with her hands, "This errand is said to be good, but in fact, it is only people like us who think so." It's just a rough girl, even if Steward Liu wants to send his daughter into the house, I'm afraid I won't look down on it! ”
"Oh......" Chunying nodded, and suddenly said, "Sister Cui, that dish is about to be crumpled for you." ”
The girl of the Cui family looked down, hurriedly threw away the dishes, smiled, and said, "I almost forgot, I still have to buy noodles, you are busy." With that, he picked up his basket and hurried away.
Chun Young squinted as she watched her back go away.
Problematic! There must be a problem! Either she did something wrong, or she used improper means, otherwise why did her face change?
But...... Does this have anything to do with you?
Chunying thinks about it, the errand has been robbed by others, and she has crossed over by herself, but she is not interested in being a servant waiting for people, and it doesn't matter whether this Cui family girl harms herself or not. Now I don't plan to make friends with her, as long as I am careful when facing her in the future and no longer be deceived, right?
That's right! Chunyoung secretly clenched his fists. Her top priority now is to figure out her own situation, adapt to ancient life, and then think about her future plans, how can she have time to care about the thoughts of the little girl in the neighborhood?
Thinking so, Chunying immediately turned her attention back to the stove, washed the rice, boiled the hot water, and Lu's mother also came over after feeding and began to cook. Chun Young put her hands on the side, and observed her mother's actions, carefully listening to all kinds of information. By the time the two aunts of the Liu family and the Ma family came in to cook, and Mother Lu drove her away on the grounds that the kitchen was too small to accommodate so many people, Chunying already had a general understanding of her own situation.
The "house" to which their family belongs, the full name is the Qingguo Marquis Mansion, the master's family name is Li, and the ancestors followed Emperor Taizong (I don't know which one, Lu's mother only said "it is Emperor Taizong"), who has made great contributions and was named a marquis, inherited from generation to generation.
Now my father Lu Yougui, who has just passed his thirty-fifth birthday, is an errand boy at the gate of the Hou Mansion. Mother's surname is Jin, the youngest father is one year old, originally the maid of the previous generation of young ladies in Fuzhong, after marriage, she worked in the needlework room, because she was pregnant with her youngest son, she retired from the needlework room with a six-month-old belly, and she has not been able to go back.
The eldest sister Qiuyu, who has been an errand boy in the old lady's house in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, was just promoted to the second-class maid ring last winter, and she is a bit decent, so she had the opportunity to intercede in front of the housekeeper and made a gap for her sister.
Originally, the Lu family also had a son, three years younger than Chunying, who died of illness two years ago. Now there is only one seedling of Xiaohu, so the baby is very.
The original Chunying, is a little girl with a dull personality, simple-minded, in the words of Lu's mother, "stupid enough to believe what others say", but she has no eyes, often says things that make people unable to get off the stage, only convinced by the Cui family girl, she is not very popular among the children in a few yards nearby, and she is not as favored as her sister and brother in front of her parents, and sometimes she loses her temper with her mother because of this. However, she did very well in needlework, perhaps because she was taught by her mother since she was a child, and at the age of ten, she was already able to make very beautiful embroidered clothes on her own. Originally, Lu's mother was going to send her to the sewing room, but when she learned that the third young master in the house was going to add a ring in the courtyard, and she wanted to be able to do work with needlework, she immediately sent a letter to her eldest daughter.
Chunyoung got out of the kitchen and quickly went back to the house, analyzing her situation based on the information she had learned.
She is not favored at home, she doesn't feel it, but she can feel that her parents care about her, so this PASS.
has a dull personality, this is more troublesome, she has always been a straight gut, if she just pretends to be silent, it should be fine. As for being blind and stupid, of course we have to change it, but we just have to be slow and natural. Popularity is not good, there are no friends, but it is a good thing, at least there is no need to worry that friends of the same age will find out that she is wrong.
Well done needlework...... This one is troublesome. Although she can do needlework, she is limited to knitting a scarf or making a pullover with a sewing machine, and she can also sew seams, but in ancient times there were no sewing machines, and she could not embroider, so she sewed by hand...... Be a dead man...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard to learn from scratch. However, considering that this was in ancient times, needlework was a basic skill that all girls had to master, so she probably had to learn it head-on.
Chunying took a deep breath, clenched her hands into fists, and secretly cheered herself on. As a new professional woman in the 21st century (she was already out of society before she crossed over), she believes that she has hundreds of years of knowledge more than the ancients, and will definitely succeed more easily than them, she will live a good life, and she will create a brilliant life here!
"Chun'er! Where did the death go? Come and help pick up the rotten leaves! There was a shout from Lu's mother in the courtyard, and Chunying paused, then answered, and walked to the kitchen with her head drooped.
On this day, Lu Yougui's father Lu Yougui came back a little late, and he didn't get home until dark, but his face was happy. Mother Lu looked a little weird, and hurriedly pulled him to sit at the dinner table: "Why is it so late?" There is meat today, so I specially found the leftover wine from Chinese New Year's Eve to relieve your hunger. How did your hat break? ”
Chunying followed her fingers, and sure enough, she saw a crack in the brim of her father's Liuhe hat, and there were a few points of ash, and even his forehead was dirty, so he hurriedly got up and went to find a hand towel to help him wipe it clean.
Lu Yougui happily took the handkerchief: "Good girl, how are you doing today?" Then he turned to his wife and said, "Today is a great event!" The news that Jingwangfu has just come back, the princess gave birth to a big fat boy, the old lady, the lord and the wife are all happy, the old lady specially confessed, the whole house has a reward, Mrs. Ming'er is going to Guangji Temple to wish for soup porridge, I heard that the people who go with them have extra red envelopes. I finally grabbed an errand with the car, and I was pulled two hats, and you sewed them for me when I got back. ”
"Really?!" Mother Lu looked surprised, "This is amazing, the princess gave birth to a child, isn't it the eldest son?" Today, the ninth day of the first lunar month...... My dear, it's a birthday! No matter how noble it is! ”
Chunying asked curiously, "Who is the princess?" What does it have to do with us? ”
"Princess Jing is the eldest aunt and grandmother in our house." Lu's mother didn't bother to explain clearly to her daughter, so she grabbed her husband first and asked the important matter, "How much did you get a reward?" How much is Ming'er's reward? ”
"Who knows Ming'er, horizontal and vertical are indispensable." Lu Yougui proudly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, Chunying glanced at it, and could see that it was a silver cake cut in half, about two fingers wide, and the color was bright, I don't know how much.
Mother Lu was naturally knowledgeable, so she snatched it up: "This is enough for one or two!" If everyone in the house has so much, how much will it cost? ”
"Who says everyone has so many?" Lu Yougui Shi Ran took a sip of wine, "What is on the table is only one or two dollars of silver, and if you can't get on the table, ten big dollars are up to the sky!" I met Qiaozong, when the people of the palace sent a letter, it was I who opened the door, and I was clever enough, so I immediately sent the message to the second door, so I got so much, I heard that the person who reported the news to the old lady was rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”
Mother Lu's mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg, and her eyes were full of envy. Chunying had no concept of currency at this time, but remembered that the ancient knights on TV passed by the small shop for a meal, and it cost more than a dozen taels to buy a bill, and this tael of silver was ...... Is it a lot?
Being a slave at home is really not easy to mix! Seeing that Daddy even had his hat torn off, he didn't even earn back the money for a meal?
She hesitated for a moment before carefully asking her father, "Daddy...... How much money do you usually have in a month? ”
"What is this for?" Lu Yougui stuffed a piece of fatty meat soaked in sauce into his mouth, "The people on our gate are doing well, they can receive five dollars of silver every month, and from time to time there are guests who come to visit to stuff benefits, if you are lucky, you can meet the young masters in a good mood, and you can also ask for rewards." This month, I guess I can at least have three taels of zeros. He turned his head and smiled at his wife: "Then make a new dress for my son, poor one, he will have to wear his cousin's old clothes for the New Year." Chun'er was sick for a while, and she also lost weight, so she bought more meat to make up for it. Go back and send a letter to the house to see if Sister Qiu has any money. It's hard to save some money, don't lose the children. ”
Mother Lu was still touching the piece of silver in front of the light, and when she heard the words, she got up and walked to the side of the kang to put the silver into the small box, locked it carefully, and then walked back: "Chun'er, what do you want?" Eat fast! The dishes are cold. ”
Chunying woke up from her contemplation, took two mouthfuls of food in response, and then cautiously asked, "Dad...... You worked so hard to get such a small amount of money, didn't you think about it...... Didn't think about it...... Redeem yourself and go out to make money yourself? ”
Lu Yougui raised his head in surprise and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand: "Girl, aren't you really stupid?" Ransom? We are the children of the family, since your grandfather's grandfather's generation, we have been mixed in this mansion, and we are not outstanding people, and the masters may not even remember what my name is, what is the redemption? How can money be so easy to make? It's out, it's better now! The small door outside, it would be good to have two taels a month. ”
Chunying knew that she was thinking about something wrong when she heard it, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just talking about it casually." Dad, you eat meat, I'll pour you wine. As he spoke, he diligently filled his father, and then sandwiched a few chopsticks and dishes for his parents, and then buried himself in eating.
She didn't notice that Mother Lu was staring at her movements, her eyes full of surprise.
After eating, Chunying volunteered to wash the dishes, in fact, she wanted to mix up what she said wrongly, but her hands were red after washing, her hands were almost frozen, and she kept walking into the house with her hands, but she vaguely heard her parents talking in the house, and seemed to mention herself.
Mother Lu's voice came faintly: "...... Something is wrong, do you want to go to the Taoist temple and ask the master to take a look? Why do I think Chun'er is so different from the original? ”
Chunying froze, quickly glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he hurriedly held his breath and tiptoed under the windowsill to eavesdrop.
"What's the difference? It's just that I forgot about the past, and I don't think anything else is inseparable. ”
"Of course it's different! Even if you really forget the past, how can you seem to understand nothing? also asked us about the redemption of our lives, do you say this is still Chun'er? And, you didn't find out? For dinner, I made your favorite white meat with garlic, and she actually ate it with the meat and garlic! Chun'er hasn't eaten onions and garlic since she was a child, and if she forgets things, she won't change her taste, right? I always felt like she was a different person. After a pause, Mother Lu said again, "Anyway, I'm going to take her to the watch to see if she has hit an evil spirit." ”
Chunying's legs and feet were weak, and she sat down on the ground weakly, and her heart was cold.
